Through the Glass Darkly is another cover by Randy Stonehill, from his 1980 album The Sky Is Falling, that I recorded. and has always been one of my favorite songs. It's also a bit of a departure for me: longer, more parts, more effects, more intricate, and so on; I spent a lot more time on this than any of my previous songs -- just over a year -- and far more than any of the other covers, which were each done in a day.
This title of the song is a reference to 1 Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." It's a bit of a statement about how we can't know it all, not unlike the theme of You're Clueless. It was recorded with Logic, using the Washburn and Martin, drum loops, and the B3 organ synth in Logic. I love that synth.Re:Wholly babble

PKD's "A Scanner Darkly" is also a reference to that verse, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly#TitleRe:Wholly babble

Last year I had an even better movie tie-in, Caves of Steel, which was based on an Isaac Asimov robot novel, at the same time I, Robot came out...
